Relaxing in Cusco

August 5-8, 2007
Day 676-679

I was in bad shape when I got back to Cusco. My whole body ached, my heels were blistered, all of my camping gear was filthy, and I hadn't showered in a week. It took a few days to remedy the situation. In the meantime, I met up again with Chantelle and several other people I met on my trek. We had fun looking back on the amazing trek that was.

My last stay in Cusco was great now that the initial shock of all the tourists and salesmen had worn off. I think the first thing in English the locals learn is "Where you from my friend?" and the first thing in Spanish the tourists learn is "No, gracias."
